Description provided by kovray on YouTube:

Learn to How to Play Pinched! in just 7 Minutes! Thank you for stopping by. Pinched! is designed by Jonathan Gilmour-Long and David Gordon, illustrated by Max Kosek and Kate Redesiuk, and published by Mighty Boards, who helped sponsor this video. In Pinched! You’ll be working to “pinch” the loot of the wealthy and sell it, consider your profession “wealth distribution” Each turn one player becomes the Mastermind, and schemes to execute a heist at a specific location. All other players will attempt to guess where the break-in will be so they can partake and share in the loot. If the mastermind manages to go alone, they’ll collect all the valuables and often receive a bonus based on the location they’re in. If other burglars predict where the heist will be, they’ll share in the valuables! By the end of the game, the player who steals and sells the most valuables will win! The wealth has been redistributed. Question of the Day: How would you protect your manor from any pinching that may occur?

About Pinched!, from BoardGameGeek:

As the wealthy flaunt their valuables, with their infinite money and privilege, the less fortunate of us are left to scheme on how to skim a bit off the top. You are not wealthy. You call your esteemed profession: "Wealth Redistribution" or, in layperson's terms - burglary, ah - but burglary is such a harsh word - pinching, merely, and you're darn good at it. Unfortunately, so are your "friends". Each turn, one player (burglar) becomes "The Mastermind", planning their perfect, infallible Heist. In the meantime, the other burglars in town have been busy trying to guess where the break-in will be. If The Mastermind manages to go alone, they will take all valuables in that location for themselves, but if the other burglars guess correctly, and show up in the right place, they will be able to pinch some Valuables from The Mastermind's Heist! The player who steals and sells the most Valuables, and hence "Redistributes" the most wealth is the winner. -description from the publisher
